Struct std::collections::btree_set::BTreeSet

pub struct BTreeSet<T, A = Global>
where
    A: Allocator + Clone,
{ /* private fields */ }

An ordered set based on a B-Tree.

See BTreeMap’s documentation for a detailed discussion of this collection’s performance benefits and drawbacks.

It is a logic error for an item to be modified in such a way that the item’s ordering relative to any other item, as determined by the Ord trait, changes while it is in the set. This is normally only possible through Cell, RefCell, global state, I/O, or unsafe code. The behavior resulting from such a logic error is not specified, but will be encapsulated to the BTreeSet that observed the logic error and not result in undefined behavior. This could include panics, incorrect results, aborts, memory leaks, and non-termination.

Iterators returned by BTreeSet::iter produce their items in order, and take worst-case logarithmic and amortized constant time per item returned.

Examples

use std::collections::BTreeSet;

// Type inference lets us omit an explicit type signature (which
// would be `BTreeSet<&str>` in this example).
let mut books = BTreeSet::new();

// Add some books.
books.insert("A Dance With Dragons");
books.insert("To Kill a Mockingbird");
books.insert("The Odyssey");
books.insert("The Great Gatsby");

// Check for a specific one.
if !books.contains("The Winds of Winter") {
    println!("We have {} books, but The Winds of Winter ain't one.",
             books.len());
}

// Remove a book.
books.remove("The Odyssey");

// Iterate over everything.
for book in &books {
    println!("{book}");
}

A BTreeSet with a known list of items can be initialized from an array:

use std::collections::BTreeSet;

let set = BTreeSet::from([1, 2, 3]);

Implementations

impl<T> BTreeSet<T>

pub const fn new() -> BTreeSet<T>

Makes a new, empty BTreeSet.

Does not allocate anything on its own.

Examples

use std::collections::BTreeSet;

let mut set: BTreeSet<i32> = BTreeSet::new();

impl<T, A> BTreeSet<T, A>

where A: Allocator + Clone,

pub const fn new_in(alloc: A) -> BTreeSet<T, A>

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (btreemap_alloc #32838)

Makes a new BTreeSet with a reasonable choice of B.

Examples

use std::collections::BTreeSet;
use std::alloc::Global;

let mut set: BTreeSet<i32> = BTreeSet::new_in(Global);

pub fn range<K, R>(&self, range: R) -> Range<'_, T>

where K: Ord + ?Sized, T: Borrow<K> + Ord, R: RangeBounds<K>,

Constructs a double-ended iterator over a sub-range of elements in the set. The simplest way is to use the range syntax min..max, thus range(min..max) will yield elements from min (inclusive) to max (exclusive). The range may also be entered as (Bound<T>, Bound<T>), so for example range((Excluded(4), Included(10))) will yield a left-exclusive, right-inclusive range from 4 to 10.

Panics

Panics if range start > end. Panics if range start == end and both bounds are Excluded.

Examples

use std::collections::BTreeSet;
use std::ops::Bound::Included;

let mut set = BTreeSet::new();
set.insert(3);
set.insert(5);
set.insert(8);
for &elem in set.range((Included(&4), Included(&8))) {
    println!("{elem}");
}
assert_eq!(Some(&5), set.range(4..).next());

set.insert(2);
assert_eq!(set.is_superset(&sub), true);

set.insert(1);
assert_eq!(set.first(), Some(&1));
set.insert(2);
assert_eq!(set.first(), Some(&1));

pub fn last(&self) -> Option<&T>

where T: Ord,

Returns a reference to the last element in the set, if any. This element is always the maximum of all elements in the set.

set.insert(1);
assert_eq!(set.last(), Some(&1));
set.insert(2);
assert_eq!(set.last(), Some(&2));

pub fn pop_first(&mut self) -> Option<T>

where T: Ord,

let mut set = BTreeSet::new();

set.insert(1);
while let Some(n) = set.pop_first() {
    assert_eq!(n, 1);
}
assert!(set.is_empty());

pub fn pop_last(&mut self) -> Option<T>

}
assert!(set.is_empty());

pub fn insert(&mut self, value: T) -> bool

where T: Ord,

Adds a value to the set.

Returns whether the value was newly inserted. That is:

• If the set did not previously contain an equal value, true is returned.
• If the set already contained an equal value, false is returned, and the entry is not updated.

See the module-level documentation for more.

Examples

use std::collections::BTreeSet;

let mut set = BTreeSet::new();

pub fn remove<Q>(&mut self, value: &Q) -> bool

where T: Borrow<Q> + Ord, Q: Ord + ?Sized,

If the set contains an element equal to the value, removes it from the set and drops it. Returns whether such an element was present.

The value may be any borrowed form of the set’s element type, but the ordering on the borrowed form must match the ordering on the element type.

Examples

use std::collections::BTreeSet;

let mut set = BTreeSet::new();

set.insert(2);
assert_eq!(set.remove(&2), true);
assert_eq!(set.remove(&2), false);

pub fn take<Q>(&mut self, value: &Q) -> Option<T>

where T: Borrow<Q> + Ord, Q: Ord + ?Sized,

The value may be any borrowed form of the set’s element type, but the ordering on the borrowed form must match the ordering on the element type.

Examples

use std::collections::BTreeSet;

let mut set = BTreeSet::from([1, 2, 3]);
assert_eq!(set.take(&2), Some(2));
assert_eq!(set.take(&2), None);

pub fn retain<F>(&mut self, f: F)

where T: Ord, F: FnMut(&T) -> bool,

let mut set = BTreeSet::from([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);
// Keep only the even numbers.
set.retain(|&k| k % 2 == 0);
assert!(set.iter().eq([2, 4, 6].iter()));

a.insert(3);

let mut b = BTreeSet::new();
b.insert(3);
b.insert(4);
b.insert(5);

a.append(&mut b);

assert_eq!(a.len(), 5);
assert_eq!(b.len(), 0);

assert!(a.contains(&1));
assert!(a.contains(&2));
assert!(a.contains(&3));
assert!(a.contains(&4));
assert!(a.contains(&5));

pub fn split_off<Q>(&mut self, value: &Q) -> BTreeSet<T, A>

where Q: Ord + ?Sized, T: Borrow<Q> + Ord, A: Clone,

Splits the collection into two at the value. Returns a new collection with all elements greater than or equal to the value.

Examples

a.insert(1);
a.insert(2);
a.insert(3);
a.insert(17);
a.insert(41);

let b = a.split_off(&3);

assert_eq!(a.len(), 2);
assert_eq!(b.len(), 3);

assert!(a.contains(&1));
assert!(a.contains(&2));

assert!(b.contains(&3));
assert!(b.contains(&17));
assert!(b.contains(&41));

pub fn extract_if<'a, F>(&'a mut self, pred: F) -> ExtractIf<'a, T, F, A>

where T: Ord, F: 'a + FnMut(&T) -> bool,

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (btree_extract_if #70530)

Creates an iterator that visits all elements in ascending order and uses a closure to determine if an element should be removed.

If the closure returns true, the element is removed from the set and yielded. If the closure returns false, or panics, the element remains in the set and will not be yielded.

If the returned ExtractIf is not exhausted, e.g. because it is dropped without iterating or the iteration short-circuits, then the remaining elements will be retained. Use retain with a negated predicate if you do not need the returned iterator.

Examples

Splitting a set into even and odd values, reusing the original set:

#![feature(btree_extract_if)]
use std::collections::BTreeSet;

let mut set: BTreeSet<i32> = (0..8).collect();
let evens: BTreeSet<_> = set.extract_if(|v| v % 2 == 0).collect();
let odds = set;
assert_eq!(evens.into_iter().collect::<Vec<_>>(), vec![0, 2, 4, 6]);
assert_eq!(odds.into_iter().collect::<Vec<_>>(), vec![1, 3, 5, 7]);

pub fn iter(&self) -> Iter<'_, T>

Gets an iterator that visits the elements in the BTreeSet in ascending order.

Examples

use std::collections::BTreeSet;

let set = BTreeSet::from([3, 1, 2]);
let mut set_iter = set.iter();
assert_eq!(set_iter.next(), Some(&1));
assert_eq!(set_iter.next(), Some(&2));
assert_eq!(set_iter.next(), Some(&3));
assert_eq!(set_iter.next(), None);

pub fn len(&self) -> usize

Returns the number of elements in the set.

Examples

use std::collections::BTreeSet;

let mut v = BTreeSet::new();
assert_eq!(v.len(), 0);
v.insert(1);
assert_eq!(v.len(), 1);

pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the set contains no elements.

Examples

use std::collections::BTreeSet;

let mut v = BTreeSet::new();
assert!(v.is_empty());
v.insert(1);
assert!(!v.is_empty());
